I have been doing my homework on this pending project (reading shop manual and studying the parts book) and am somewhat wary of removing the lf inner fender splash shield to gain access for the tappet adjustment.The shop manual is pretty forward, just remove the splash shield. I am afraid of removing too much hardware and affecting the fender mounting/alignment although reading the parts manual breakdown that there are 5 bolts (on top), 2-3 on the 'frame' but a lot of screws towards the front where it attaches to what I call the radiator support. Has anyone removed this shield and if there are any words of advice you could pass along? I really hate disturbing anything but it is necessary to gain access to the tappets.
